Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round baking pans.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for ten minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Frost as desired.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste.
Decorate with chocolate ganache or fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
This recipe is easily customizable; feel free to substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for added richness.
